When it comes to manufacturing technology, web services are what
connects systems and companies; a key technology for optimizing
manufacturing value chains. Web services integrate
applications over the Internet using the XML and SOAP open
standards - XML to code and to decode data, and SOAP to transport
it. Using Web services two organizations can communicate data
to each other without knowing the details of each other's IT
systems. This allows a low cost method for integrating
systems and synchronizing the flow of information across the
manufacturing value chain.
TwinEngines integrates companies with their vendors,
customers and dealers by implementing technology-based
solutions. We use web services everyday to help small and
mid-market manufacturers and companies participating in

connected. Here is a list of some of the web services we
